The songs had a pure, flowing vocal line and allowed the singer to use his considerable lyric talent. In his final solo selections of the evening, Ardrey turned to Benjamin Brittens War Requiem and sang Bugles Song, Be Slowly Lifted Up, and After the Blast of Lightning. The requiem's music is solemn, and somber, and emphasizes, as Ardrey explained to the audience, the pity of war, The two artists joined voices for a Salve Regina, by Pergolesi, Upon a Quiet Conscience, by Purcell, and the baritone-soprano duet from La Traviata, the only standard number on the entire program. In the three duets, they displayed good balance between voices, but there were times when Miss Curatilo demonstrated considerably more power than her partner. Festival activity continues today with the opening of a book exhibit at the Northern Arizona University Library and at 8:30 p.m.

nh -mi Flagstaff Summer Festival audiences were treated to a unique evening of vocal music last night when baritone Roger Ardrey and soprano Gwen Curatilo joined forces for a recital that featured not a single "war horse. Miss Curatilo, a leading soprano with the San Francisco Opera, and Ardrey, a longtime favorite in Flagstaff, presented a program that combined baroque and contempor ary music and gave excellent samp-lings of the professional ability of both artists. Miss Curatilo, who sang despite the fact her young son was suddenly taken ill, proved once again she is a well-trained, talented professional musician who knows how to use her voice. Ardrey displayed his customary smooth voice and the audience was delighted to find that age is bringing a maturity to the sound he is capable of producing. The program consisted of works by Pergolesi, Mozart, Luzzaschi, Handel, Rorem, Schumann, Britten, Purcell, and Verdi.

It was obvious in her selections that Miss Curatilo has done considerable research among musty scores to gather the classic works she sang. She displayed a thrilling trill in the lower register in Alle-luja, by Mozart and pure, clear lyric voice capable of great strength in Nascondelusignol from the opera Deidamiaby Handel. Throughout the evening, the soprano showed that she had an admirable bel canto technique. In three short songs by Robert Schumann, iss Curatilo demonstrated excellent German diction.
